- When your contacts support audio or video conversations, you will see, next to
- the contacts name in the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, one or two small icons that
- represent the different conversations you can have.
- </p>
+ <p>You can only have audio and video conversation with contacts who are using
+ an application which also supports this feature.</p>

+ <p>I'd like to do tables like this using nothing for No and ✔ for Yes, but
+ we need to look at the accessibility impact. I've

+ <p>There's recent work on telepathy-butterfly and papyon to support
+ audio and video for MSN. It might be released in time for 2.28, but
+ since it doesn't follow the Gnome release schedule, I can't be sure.
+ If it looks like it's going to ship, let's mark it Yes.</p>
